  1. r 2025 CX-90 (built in December 2024) hasn't experienced any battery problems. Although I'm sorry to hear that yours failed, the battery guarantee should still cover quite a bit of time. According to service bulletin SA-018/25, Mazda will cover the hybrid batteries for 8 years or 80,000 miles on the MHEV. Even without the extra coverage specified in the advisory, it would have been covered beyond the drivetrain guarantee for 7 years / 70,000 miles if you reside in one of the approximately 20 states that follow California emissions requirements. See the warranty handbook for further information. On the underside of the engine, you won't find any parts that need servicing. For example, the timing chain is one of those mechanical components that is supposed to endure the lifetime of the car, but if it were to fail, it would necessitate costly engine-out repairs. When it comes to other Skyactiv engines, the timing chains and guides from Mazda usually last 200,000 miles or more with regular oil changes. In order to change the timing chain on many cars, you have to take the engine cover off. Not exclusive to Mazda inline sixes, and it seems a bit hypocritical, if not exaggerated, to make a huge fuss about it like a certain famous YouTuber did.
  2. The 3.3 litre inline six is compatible with the NGK aftermarket plug, which is ILKAR8AC8. Look up the part number at NGK's website, MyPartFinder, if you're still unsure.
  3. Unit Number: ILKAR8AC8 This is a stock number for the same plugs: 96410. You can find it on NGK's part lookup page; however, you will need to search for 2024 as they have not yet uploaded Mazda information for 2025 or after. Additionally, you can find them listed on Rock Auto for $10.84 apiece. About 25% of Mazda’s price.
  4. On subsequent generations of vehicles, including yours, FE oil has superseded LL04. Simply enter your vehicle's model on the Opie Oils website, and the system will provide results tailored to your vehicle.
  5. Perhaps the thermostat is stuck. Please tell me the year and the mileage.
  6. Just the passenger side? What gives? Maybe I'm confused. Everything is OK with the torque specs.
  7. What do you mean by "hiding to nothing"? The breaker and whatever else sells them may be someone to enquire, I suppose. The only thing I would do differently is to hope that they are buckled or cracked.
  8. I was wondering if the W204 C-class ang/sport estate could accommodate the Elegance suspension. The 18-inch wheels are just too difficult for my taste. I was hoping to acquire springs and shocks (or at least the springs) from a nearby factor or something, but the only places I can get 17-inch wheels are miles away on eBay and require just a pick-up. I get that it's a sport model and meant to be that way, but the jarring and banging on our perfectly smooth roads is driving me crazy.
  9. Awful, awful s****. 🤬. Should I invest in the right jack? I find that wheel brace to be quite useful. Superior quality.
  10. So, I didn't get a spare, jack, or wheel brace with my new purchase. I have a question for the group: has anyone ever needed a jack and wheel brace for their vehicle? If so, have you purchased them? I feel like I'll regret not getting them and then I'll never use them if I do. Is anyone thinking about that?
